LETTER TEXTย ย
Mr. Jack Dorsey
CEO, Twitter
1355 Market Street
Suite 900
San Francisco, CA 94103ย
Dear Mr. Dorsey,ย
Recently, Rogan OโHandleyโs lawsuit against former California Secretary of State andcurrent Senator Alex Padilla has revealed collusion between the state government ofCalifornia and Twitter.ย It is alleged that in the months leading up to the 2020 election and in the months following it, Twitter and the California Office of Election Cybersecurity operated as an Orwellian Ministry of Truth, collaborating to censor and remove tweets from Republicans deemed by the office to be at odds with the talking points of the Democratic Party.ย
Along with millions of Americans, I am deeply concerned that collusion between the gatekeepers of information and the Democrat political machine threatens our election integrity and undermines our democracy.ย Thus, I am calling on Twitter to release all correspondence and requests they haveapproved to delete political tweets.ย
Sincerely,ย ย
Matt Gaetz
Member of Congressย
Seems to me that the investigations of and letters to social media giants is just for show. Our โpublic servantsโ use their positions to get rich but must put on a show of concern occasionally.
